Best Savings Account Rates - December 2018

Choosing a savings account is a major financial decision, so finding the best savings account rates is a critical task. Here’s how to evaluate what banks offer.

MoneyRates.com regularly monitors more than 300 savings account products, featuring some of the best interest rates for easy comparison. Here’s our methodology.

Choosing a savings account is one of the first and longest-lasting financial decisions a person makes. Before you simply walk into the nearest bank branch and settle for the latest offer, know more about your options.

After all, you would probably do a little research before shopping for a car, and over time you are likely to put more money into your savings account than into your car. So choosing a new savings account is not a decision you should make randomly.

Savings Account To Fit Your Life

A savings account should play an intermediate role between a checking account that you might access on a daily basis, and a long-term retirement account, which you shouldn't touch for many years. The following are some examples of how to best use these savings accounts:

Getting started with savings

Saving for emergencies

Building funds for large purchases

To understand what else you might need from your savings account, it’s important to understand what part savings accounts should play in your finances.

Best savings & MMA accounts for December 2018 : Summary of our picks

As you can see in the table below, MoneyRates.com regularly monitors bank rates from more than 200 banks to highlight the best savings account rates. But as important as rates are – they are likely to be one of the central factors in your choice of bank – they are still only one component of a savings account.

Rates / Annual Percentage Yield terms above are current as of the date indicated. These quotes are from banks, credit unions and thrifts, some of which have paid for a link to their website. Bank, thrift and credit unions are member FDIC or NCUA. Contact the bank for the terms and conditions that may apply to you. Rates are subject to change without notice and may not be the same at all branches.

What makes a savings account suited to these uses is that it can pay higher interest than a checking account because you won't be drawing from it as regularly, but at the same time, it will allow you ready access to the money when it’s needed. Remembering the role of a savings account is important when evaluating the facets of a prospective savings account.

Types of savings accounts

Compared to a regular savings account, there are many different types of savings accountsyou can open to prepare for future expenses or help grow your wealth.

High-yield savings accounts, also known as high interest savings accounts

Plans like 529 plans or IRAs are meant for particular purposes, such as saving for college or retirement.

Many accounts may qualify for tax-free savings, including health savings accounts. The IRS defines a health savings account as an account that is designed to pay or reimburse you for medical expenses. Having a health savings account has several tax benefits, including tax-free interest or other earnings in the account.

Depending on the tax savings or interest rate associated with the savings account, consider using a savings goal calculator to determine how much to deposit each month to achieve a particular financial target.

High interest savings account questions to ask

You might find accounts with attractive yields through either online savings accounts or your local bank branch. Naturally, the idea of a high interest savings account sounds good, but here are three things you should check on before you open one:

Legitimacy of the financial institution

Is your bank or credit union well-established or have a great reputation for customer service?

Extent of FDIC insurance coverage

Make sure the institution is covered, and if you qualify for a high-yield savings account because you are making a very large deposit, ensure it does not put you over FDIC insurance limits, which is currently $250,000 per depositor, per institution.

Any restrictions on your access to the money

A high interest savings account may limit how often you can access your money. If you can live with those limitations, take advantage of that strong yield. But if not, look for a savings account that offers looser restrictions.

Should you get an ATM card?

Some accounts also offer the option for an ATM card, including online savings accounts. This may sound like a nice perk, but before you opt for one, ask a couple of questions:

Will easier access result in more spending?

If this account is for savings, is having easier access to your money going to hurt your savings habits?

Are you sacrificing a higher interest rate for the ATM card?

If so, you might be better off with a conventional checking account for your short-term funds, while finding a high interest savings account or money market account for your longer-term savings.

Evaluating your savings account options should start with understanding how you intend to use the account, and based on that, what features are most important.

Look at the table above and select the best savings account for you to get your finances on track.

I have been with Ridgewood Savings Bank for 5 years .The customer service in this bank has exceeded my expectations. Manager helped me get organized in a way that has helped me grow my business. I recommend that any young entrepreneur or start up to get signed up with their business banking services as it can be difficult for an artist/creative person to get organized. I also have an account here and I am very satisfied with this bank.

Hey, RICH NG,How about telling us where BECU is, because the BECU in Washington State is almost as low in their rates as the CU's in SC, under half a percent.

rich ng21 November 2014 at 2:48 pm

Don't see credit unions either... Maybe not considered
banks? BECU offers 2% interest for their premium no
fee checking...

Linda Rowsey30 October 2014 at 11:13 pm

I do not see Wells-Fargo in the 148 pages of banks listed. Did I miss it?

Smith22 September 2014 at 2:07 pm

Clayton Bank and Trust is offering a new Prime-Based Money Market Account with no minimum balance to open the account or earn the APY, which is currently 0.75%. The rate is WSJ Prime minus 2.5, so you won't need to rate shop when prime moves. There are also no fees or complicated requirements.

Harry12 August 2014 at 9:26 pm

MySavingsDirect.com has 1.00% with no minimum and no fees!

Bree Martin16 May 2014 at 6:35 pm

FSG Bank in East Tennessee has a great rate of .75% on $10,000 I was looking for somewhere to park some liquid cash for awhile and they were great and easy to deal with.

Julie Baek24 September 2013 at 12:02 am

I was looking around for a higher interest savings account so i had been purusing sites looking for the best deal. I ultimately found mine beause my mother in law saw an ad in the korean newspaper. I opened my account today at First Choice Bank, my experience was pleasant nothing negative to report, its their high yield savings account, minimum: $10000, 1.00%, this rate will not change for a year, and you have to open the account by 11/30/2013, I think you have to go into the branch to open though which was fine with me since I happen to live closeby to one of their branches. I think their website has a list of all their locations (www.firstchoicebankca.com). They are only in southern california so if you live nearby its pretty convienient.

Richard Rosenberg24 August 2013 at 1:00 am

We opened a M.M. account with Amtrust Direct which pays 1.05%. Take it from me its not worth the difference between other internet banks. We sent the application in 7-11-13 and today its 8-23-13 and all issues have not been addressed. Its been a absolute nightmare dealing with a staff that doesn't know whats going on. The time ive been on the phone with the bank has been a total WASTE. Richard Rosenberg

Peter2 June 2013 at 1:12 pm

Barclays has now dropped to .90% and didn't notify me of the rate change. Salem Five is a mess. They offered a great rate, and I set up an account only to be informed after the whole process that the rate was for new money only.

Doug8 April 2013 at 8:52 pm

I'm a big fan of Barclays as I have been with them since June, 2012 and their interest rate has remained 1% the whole time.

Michael12 February 2013 at 3:14 am

Salem Five is offering 1.25%, but setting up an account with them is very tedious and we just learned they have very low limits for making deposits and withdrawals on line. First deposit has to be by mailed check. We set up an account and ended up closing it after having to repeatedly call them for clarification of their policies and procedures. Opened an account with CITbank(1.00%) that went very smoothly. Much better experience.

Mary23 January 2013 at 5:06 pm

TIAA Direct's savings account APY went down to 1.00% for all balance amounts.

Maria - MONEYRATES MODERATOR15 January 2013 at 6:36 pm

Hi Doug, My apologies for the oversight and not responding to your earlier email. Barclays is included in our list. Take a look at our Best Savings Accounts page http://www.money-rates.com/savings.htm. Barclays Online Savings Account is currently listed on the fifth page of our financial institutions list. According to Barclays website they have over 300 years of banking history and currently have banking operations in over 50 countries including the U.S. Barclays Bank Delaware is FDIC insured. Thank you for contacting us!

Jean14 January 2013 at 5:12 pm

I am checking rates and also comments on institutions. I note that none of the comments posted here are past September 2012. It is now January 14 - are there any more current comments?

Norman Ross8 January 2013 at 1:30 am

Salem Bank 1.25%

Corey20 December 2012 at 4:57 am

Be sure to check credit union accounts. I make my living through a Fortune 500 company that has their own credit union available for us. The regular savings account that I have with them has been earning around 2.4% APY for the past 2 or 3 years. It also has very easy and favorable terms for the everyday common man. Be sure to look into this sort of thing at your workplace if you work for a large company.

Doug10 December 2012 at 4:51 pm

I will ask it again: What is the reason that Barclays is not included on your list?

Monty Berry6 December 2012 at 1:43 am

UFB Direct now at the great low rate of .80. I moved money from American Express back in July to UFB when they were at 1.30. Now American Express is higher.

Eric Deleon20 October 2012 at 7:02 am

Careful with Sallie Mae. They may have a good rate now and then but they can actually "set off" money from any SM account you have if you owe money on student loans from them(which most students are not aware of); banks are not legally required to inform you if they take your money from an account you have with them, only after they have already done so. Technically, if you have a loan from them, you owe them money, but if you have priority payments e.g., rent, utilities, insurance, etc., this can be a pain in the ass. If you have an unpaid loan from Sallie Mae, DO NOT bank with them! Simple rule: "Don't bank where you've got debts."

Dennis Bell2 October 2012 at 7:32 pm

Don't forget Sallie Mae Bank. Paying 1.05% on savings as of 10/02/12

Sandra H. Myers30 September 2012 at 9:30 pm

American Express lowered the interest rate after I opened my account and has never paid the advertised rate again. Currently they are advertising .90%. My last statement dated September 1 paid .87%. Shopping now for better rates.

Bill Garrison27 September 2012 at 3:43 pm

I have a pre-paid credit card with a savings account option paying 5% APR. Is that good?

Doug20 September 2012 at 6:44 pm

Why isn't Barclays listed? They have been paying 1% for some time now.

Maria - MONEYRATES MODERATOR9 September 2012 at 9:46 pm

Hi Tim,
Thank you for letting us know that UFB Direct has lowered their MMA rate to 1.10% APY. Deposits for UFB Direct are FDIC insured through BofI Federal Bank. Thanks again!

Tim7 September 2012 at 4:04 am

Looks like UFB Direct has lowered their MMA rate to 1.10% APY now.

Alan17 August 2012 at 8:18 pm

ufbdirect.com currently offering FDIC insured MMA @ $1.30% APY

MARIA - MONEYRATES MODERATOR9 August 2012 at 12:08 am

Hannah: Thanks for your comment. Regulation D applies only to certain types of electronic and telephone transactions. Unless otherwise prohibited by the bank, customers should be able to make as many withdrawals as they like from their savings account via in-person transactions such as branch and ATM withdrawals. But to avoid any confusion, I've amended the article slightly to reflect this distinction. You can also find more specifics on Regulation D as it pertains to savings accounts on page 3 of this document from the Federal Reserve: http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/supmanual/cch/int_depos.pdf Thanks again, Maria

Trudy27 July 2012 at 11:38 pm

It appears that TIAA Direct is currently not taking on any new accounts.

Hannah21 June 2012 at 12:54 pm

Hi Julie - isn't it a bit misleading to say "There are no limits to the frequency or amount of money you can remove from typical savings accounts."? Regulation D limits the number of withdrawals made per calendar month from US savings accounts to 6. Many customers are confused by this, and it might be helpful to make a note of this in your otherwise excellent overview.

P Smith3 May 2012 at 7:14 pm

I am currently earning 2.01% on my checking account at Cardinal Bank. They have 27 locatons in VA, DC and MD. There are some stipulations, but who doesn't have them? I could not be happier. Great people to work with and a great rate on balances up to $100K.

Yoni10 April 2012 at 8:37 pm

I recently spoke with a capital one banker, they have a checking account that offers 1% for the first year provided that you have a minimum balance of 5k. I think I'm going to open one.

Maria - MoneyRates Moderator25 March 2012 at 11:34 pm

Hi Jim,Thanks for the tip about TIAA Direct which is a division of TIAA-CREF Trust Co, FSB, Member FDIC. We added their products to our rate list. And currently the products are available nationwide. If anyone has any experience with TIAA Direct please submit a comment, we would appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!

Maria - MoneyRates Moderator25 March 2012 at 11:18 pm

Hi Elvis,We often respond directly to the individual who contacts us, however point well taken and we will do our best to respond in our comment section. Thanks for the valuable feedback!

Brown Financial25 March 2012 at 8:04 pm

What a great comparison of savings account rates!! Had to share this. It's important everyone knows the value of shopping around even when it comes to your bank accounts. Every penny counts these days, why not keep more of your money in your own pocket!

I see Washington Savings Bank has a 1.50% rate. Can anyone tell me where this bank is located and its contact information.Thanks.

R9 February 2012 at 1:08 am

Is AmTrust really capped at $100,000? Their customer service says they pay 1.15% from 5K through 250K. Please call them and verify.

I received this message from Smarty Pig on December 2:Effective Friday, December 9, 2011, the interest rate paid on SmartyPig savings accounts will be adjusted.
The interest rate earned on balances* $0.00 - $50,000.00 will be 0.698% (0.70% APY). The interest rate earned on balances* above $50,000.00 will be 0.499% (0.50% APY). *Balances: For purposes of calculating balances for determination of the rate tier that applies, total balances of all goals within your SmartyPig profile will be aggregated.

Leanna6 December 2011 at 9:39 am

Discover (the credit card company) has an interest rate of 1.00%, minimum to open is $500, no minimum to earn interest or avoid fees, and is accessed via ACH transfers. I might go with this one because I already have a credit card through them and love them. Their transfers always clear by the same business day.

Linda Thanks for the tip. Just what I was looking for. As a side note, I could not find the special program on their website, but when I chatted with representative and inquired about the special 4 month promotion I was given a link. Thanks again.

I agree with Susan about Capital One in that Interest rate keeps going down for Interest Plus Online Savings. Was 1% on 9/9 and 0.95% on 9/30 and 0.85% on 10/8. The HIgh Yield Money Market is now down to 0.65%. I am beginning to look elsewhere although no matter whom you go with, your initial "too good to be true" rate will quickly drift. The truth is the banks do not want us to store our cash with them,.All of this depends on how much time and aggravation one is willing to settle for in constantly changing banks.

Carl2 October 2011 at 7:53 pm

WSFS in Wilmington,De. has a 90 day promotion of 1.24 percent interest

Susan23 September 2011 at 5:01 pm

Capital One slashed its interest rates on September 21, 2011. Its APY on money market accounts plunged to 0.65%. Its APY on Interest Plus Savings Accounts plummeted to 0.85%.

Chris Gallager11 September 2011 at 7:20 pm

I found a 43 year old federal government employees credit union in Panama offering 4% on regular savings accounts in US dollars. It is called COACECSS, they are the Social Security Employees credit union (over 15,000 members), and they generally do not open accounts for foreigners (non Panamanians), but through this law firm POLS (www.pos-inc.com) I got an introduction and they helped me setup an account.

RightSide3 September 2011 at 1:18 pm

CapitalOne has not failed me. I keep coming here hoping to find something better, but other banks have high minimum balances, require additional accounts, rates that drop off quickly, etc. CapitalOne only requires $1,000 and you earn one of the most competitive rates at any given time. They are always right near the top. That's why I have been with them for 3 years and haven't switched to anyone else.

Cinco Credit Union or Kemba Credit Union 3.75% for a checking account, much better rate than these savings accounts listed!

DS.22 July 2011 at 5:59 am

Everyone would like the best savings interest rates. Why not cover off-shore banks?I understand you can get 6% - 8% interest in India or other countries. Perhaps even China offered 5% recently since it's key lending rate went up to slow down it's economy.Seriously, we all know about off-shoring. There are just some tricks to get an account or international and legal access (US Laws and Regulations some what interefer).

you can get 4%/year at communication federal credit union up to 30,000.00 rules are 1.bill paid by draft,2.debit card used 12 times a month,3. 500.00 sent to credit union once a month.phone number for the branch i go to is (918) 665-3760 i forgot to say that the 500.00 has to be sent to the credit union by electronic means.anything over 30000.00 only gets 1%/year.the branch i go to is in tulsa but i believe they have other locations across oklahoma and also in kansas and missouri

SAC Federal Credit Union in Sarpy and Douglas County, Nebraska offers 3.00% interest to shareholders owning a checking account with a debit/credit card and making at least 12 debit/credit transactions a month. The 3% APY is paid monthly for checking account balances up to $25,000. I believe only residents of the 2 counties qualify for membership.

Hello - the 1.75% rate listed for the AmericaNet Bank MMA acount is no longer available. When you go to their website and click on the MMA account it is showing "Sorry Sold Out" and has shown that for awhile.Thanks for the great website!-Tim

Leonor: Re NetSpend debit card. You do receive 5% up to a maximum of $10,200, but it will cost you more than that to ever get the money out of the account. That is the trick. My advice: AVOID.

Would anyone recommend Customers Bank in PA for the MMA????Thanks.

Leonor30 January 2011 at 11:28 am

I have a netspend visa debit card that offers a savings account plan that pays 5.00% APY, How is this bank able to offer a higher return than the more recognized banks? Or am I reading the numbers wrong?

Sandra L Ross23 January 2011 at 11:51 pm

CapitalOne Bank is offering 1.25% interest on Direct Banking Savings accounts. This is an increase from 1.01%. No checking link is required and may be opened with $1.00. A 10% bonus on earned interest is offered if your balance remains above $10,000.00 for the previous three months, and is deposited to your account for the next quarter. In an age where interest rates are extremely low, I find CapitalOne to be consistantly above the rest of its competitors.

Thomas B.17 January 2011 at 8:23 pm

I am looking for the best savings rates for those with Trust Accounts (living trust).
Many of the online savings institutions with FDIC insurance so not authorize trust account applications.
Is there a listing of which ones will take trust accounts? Can you add information to your rate listings indicating if they take trust accounts?

Jen1 January 2011 at 5:01 pm

Soopers Credit Union in Denver Colorado has a Rewards checking account which yields 3.75% APY. The three stipulations are 1. you must have one direct deposit account set up, 2. you must sign up for e-statements, 3. you must use your check card 15 times per month. I think the hard part will be to keep an invisible line between what is to be saved and what is available for spending with keeping your savings in a checking account. But I'm trying at that rate.

Mick Rogers7 December 2010 at 11:38 pm

American Express Bank has a savings account that is simple yet high yielding (currently 1.3%). No minimum balance required. No fees. They do not require you to open a checking account, mortgage, car loan nor direct deposit. Literally no strings attached.
It's ideal for out-of-state use because of the internet. You will need a checking account at whatever bank or credit union that is most convenient for you (probably a credit union because most don't charge to maintain a checking account). You then transfer funds to and from this account as needed via the internet (very easy, convenient and fast). Six (6) withdrawals per month are allowed (this is the same for every savings and money market account in the country mandated by the Federal Government). Then just pay your bills or financial dealings using this checking account which allows unlimited transactions and addition benifits such as free Bill Pay. This is the best deal I could find and even competes very favorably with certificates of deposit without tieing up your funds. CHECK IT OUT

Provident Community Savings Bank, 2700 Celanese Road, in Rock Hill, South Carolina offers their Dream Checking account at an over 4% monthly interest rate with balances up to $30,000, There are a few stipulations, like making so many ATM purchases, having one direct deposit and using electronic banking, but this is easy to manage.
You can also link a Dream Savings account to this for a 2% rate on savings. Best one I've found so far in this crummy economy!
You do have to apply in person, though, so living near the area is a bit of a must.

Smartypig is lowering their interest rate on its online savings account from 2.75
to 2.01 on August 17th. That's quite a drop, but I guess we all knew they couldn't keep paying more then 1 point interest then their closest
competitors.

Need to know checking account intrest and MMA account rate

Ronnie24 July 2009 at 9:58 pm

I opened a MMA and Savings account @ Discover Bank from their online signup.
Then registered to be able to access the accounts and was provided a screen that said it would be 2-3 business days before I would be provided an
e-mail with the access info. I called their support number and was told they had to manually process every application and they were several days
behind and there was nothing they could do. Advice... if you open an account with Discover Bank make SURE you only fund the minimum amount to open
the account and expect it to take a while to really have the account setup.

"available to Georgia residents only? Isn't that inconsistent with Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution?Section 2 - State citizens,
ExtraditionThe Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

Just found out that you can't withdraw from a Smartypig.com account unless you
close it.
Not good.
